Rutav Shah

I am a third year Computer Science PhD student at UT Austin, co-advised by Prof. Yuke Zhu at the RPL lab and Prof. Roberto Martín-Martín at the RobIn lab. My research interests span the fields of Robotics and Machine Learning.

For my undergraduate thesis, I was co-advised by Prof. Abir Das (Computer Vision and Intelligence Research Lab at IIT Kharagpur) and Dr. Vikash Kumar (FAIR Pittsburgh).

Apart from research, I love teaching, trekking, and running! Some high altitude treks I have completed, Tapovan, Brahmatal in the Garhwal region and Buran Pass in the Himachal Himalayas.

Be kind, cheers!
